Beatmaker · composer
YSN — real name Nicolas Lanclume — is a Guadeloupean beatmaker and composer. Since 2024, his name keeps coming back on the releases that shape the New Bouyon Wave: "Manawa" with Aknose in 2024, then in 2025 "Pran On Pyé" with 1T1, Le Juh and Qwann, "Matcha" and "Palabras" with Aknose. And in 2026, "Move" brings 1T1, Aknose, Le Juh, Theomaa and Qwann around him — proof that he's become one of the producers the new generation lays their vocals on.
Nicolas Lanclume, aka YSN, is one of the beatmakers building the beats the New Bouyon Wave sits on. In 2023, "Nouvo mood" with Matieu White sets the first public marker. In 2024, "Manawa" with Aknose installs the tandem that will become a signature. The year 2025 tips YSN into the heart of the wave: "Pran On Pyé" with 1T1, Le Juh and Qwann, "Matcha" and "Palabras" with Aknose, "La Manigance" with Aknose and Le Jèm'ss. Five releases in one year, all with NBW collective names. In 2026, "Move" locks his spot in: YSN in the credits alongside 1T1, Aknose, Le Juh, Theomaa and Qwann. "Jéré Sa" that same year with DJ Softee, Edday, Jixels and DJ Boko stretches the network further. His function: the beatmaker you call when you want a sound that hits New Bouyon Wave.

Artist · producer · beatmaker
1T1 — real name Terry Baptiste — is the voice-producer behind much of the Guadeloupean New Bouyon Wave. Guadeloupean father, Guyanese mother. At age 3, his uncle Thierry Cham introduces him to gwoka. Ten years on percussion, a production school in France, then keyboard self-taught on YouTube. His single "Bouwéy" feat. Theomaa is certified gold, crosses 18 million views on YouTube and is nominated at the 2026 Flammes Awards in the Caribbean song category. The CHORD album drops in December 2024, and he follows up in 2026 with the single "In Di Corner" feat. MiiMii KDS.
Bouyon artist
Aknose (Gaël) is a central voice of the New Bouyon Wave, from Les Abymes in Guadeloupe. He moved from dancehall to Bouyon through his cousin Vador and a conceptual click — framing Bouyon as the Caribbean equivalent of Ibiza-style techno (same BPM, same cardio) — federating the scene from the MJC des Abymes, where several hits of the new generation are composed.
Bouyon artist
Le Juh — real name Julio Polydamas — is one of the eight voices carrying the New Bouyon Wave, alongside 1T1, TIITII NBA, Softee, Aknose, Nils, Luky Lukee and Theomaa. From 2023 on, "Volé'y" with Luky Lukee and Nils places him in the leading trio. His voice quickly becomes one of the most sought-after of the wave: "Leave Me Alone" with 1T1, Dinho, Theomaa and Binksdrick in 2024, "Pran On Pyé" with 1T1, Qwann and YSN in 2025, "Karibbean Gyal" with Lestef KJF Boyz the same year, then "Move" and "Good" in 2026.
Bouyon beatmaker
Qwann lands on four singles between 2024 and 2026, in two different sub-circles of the New Bouyon Wave. "1er Feu" 2024 ties him to the Miimii / Lucky Lukee circle (with Binksdrick, Dinho — ). "Pran On Pyé" 2025 places him in the 1T1 pole (with YSN, LeJuh — ). "Uhdahdah #2" 2025 confirms with Lucky Lukee and 1T1. And in 2026, "Move" brings together YSN, Aknose, LeJuh, Theomaa, 1T1 and Qwann — four canonical NBW pillars around him. Recognised beatmaker, not a pillar, but a cross-network pivot.
Bouyon artist · AB BOYZ
Theomaa — real name Mathéo Coquerelle — is one of the eight voices carrying the New Bouyon Wave, alongside 1T1, TIITII NBA, Softee, Aknose, Nils, Luky Lukee and Le Juh. Member of the AB Boyz crew, he lands on "New Bouyon Wave #1" in 2023, then stacks four consecutive singles with 1T1 between 2024 and 2026: "Bouwey", "Viniw", "Ouba", "Baddest". The 1T1/Theomaa tandem becomes one of the most productive producer-voice duos of the scene.
DJ · composer · singer · connector
DJ Softee — real name Julian White — is one of the eight voices who officially name the New Bouyon Wave in September 2023 with "New Bouyon Wave #1". Alongside him: 1T1, TIITII NBA, Aknose, Nils, Luky Lukee, Le Juh and Theomaa. But he doesn't just sing. DJ, composer, singer — he builds "KPT" with TIITII NBA in 2024, signs the collective EP "Chodong Route Empire C.R.E" in 2025, and co-builds the platform Warm Up core with TIITII NBA and DJ Dirtee. One of the few to juggle the three roles without favoring one.
Bouyon artist
Edday — real name Eddy Vanerot — is one of the solo voices of the Gwada Bouyon transition. As early as 2019, he dropped "Ouu La La" with Reo and "Ti KoKa" with Bilix, LaRose and VJ Ben — two singles that anchored the transition. Six years later, "You Mad" 2025 with Reo, DJ Luchshiy and Jixels confirms he's still part of the chain linking the pre and post New Bouyon Wave eras.
Bouyon artist
Jixels — real name Jonathan Elusca, from Guadeloupe — is at the same time an artist, beatmaker and musician. From 2024, his name starts showing up regularly in the credits with "WIFI Freestyle" and "Adios Amigos". In 2025, "Nouveau La" with BRG Hollywood plugs him into Saint-Martin. In 2026, "Jéré Sa" with DJ Softee, Edday, DJ Boko and YSN locks his place. His catalog runs through Reo, DJ Luchshiy, LeJuh, Aknose, Luky Lukee, Shanika and Edday.
